Events

Brexit and Disability in Wales Roundtable event on 6 June from 13:30 to 16:30 in Cardiff. The implications of Brexit for disabled people in areas such as legal rights, health and social care and accessibility with Jane Hutt AM and Jeremy Miles AM. We have some funding available for travel / accommodation if you would like to travel from outside Cardiff to attend. Full details and registration are here.

Support Services for the EU Settlement Scheme: Please get in touch with us or directly with Bethan Bateman in the Welsh Government if you would like to be involved in efforts to coordinate the services in Wales which have been funded to support vulnerable EU citizens with the EU Settlement Scheme. We are planning a first meeting on this with the Welsh Government on 12 June. The UK Government has released a (seemingly incomplete) list of organisations funded by the Home Office for this available here.

Influencing and networking in Westminster: We are seeking expressions of interest to take part in a briefing for MP’s on the implications of Brexit (and given the circumstances, potentially around the Withdrawal Agreement Bill) scheduled for late June. We will be co-hosting this with the Brexit Civil Society Alliance and hope to follow-up with a networking drinks reception for organisations and MP’s. There will be funding available to facilitate travel and access so please get in touch. More information will be available soon.

Disability Wales in partnership with the Wales Governance Centre and WCVA’s Brexit Forum project, would like to invite you to join us for a roundtable discussion on the implications of Brexit for Disabled people and Disabled People’s Organisations (DPOs) in Wales. You can find out more here.
